Answer to Question 1

 Physical abuse includes throwing, shooting, stabbing, burning, drowning, suffocating, biting, or deliberately disfiguring a child. Included within this category is shaken-baby syndrome (SBS).
 Physical neglect results from parents' failure to provide adequate food, shelter, or medical care for their children, as well as failure to protect them from physical danger.
 Emotional abuse is manifested by constant criticism and rejection of the child. Those who suffer emotional abuse have significantly lower self-esteem as adults.
 Emotional neglect includes inadequate nurturing, inattention to a child's emotional development, and lack of concern about maladaptive behavior.
 Abandonment refers to the situation in which parents leave their children with the intention of severing the parentchild relationship.
 Sexual abuse refers to the exploitation of children through rape, incest, or molestation by parents, family members, friends, or legal guardians.
